Manchester GUKPT: Day 1A - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

Chris Bruce has just won a couple of big pots.

First he had Ah , bet 1k on a board, and got two callers including Roberto Romanello, he checked the turn, Romanello pushed for 4k, the other player smooth-called and so did he. On a blank river, he then got the other player to pay him off another 4k.

A couple of hands later he called a small raise to 750, as did the button and a previous limper. Everyone checked to him on the board and he bet 1k, and was called by all other 3 players. They all checked the turn, before the original raiser bet 1500 on the river. Chris made it 3.5k, the other players folded and the initial raiser called and Chris showed for the rivered straight. The other player, in the red hoodie here, showed , really should've bet the flop and certainly the turn.

On a  board, Andrew Harrison goes all in. After a great deal of probably unnecessary huffing and puffing, Nick Hicks calls. Andrew turns over kings, Nick has aces. River  , and Andrew now has only about 3k.

Great Updating Dana.  Go the Notts boys Nick & Chris Bruce

More Chris Bruce action, this time the losing kind - the guy in the red hoodie on Floppy's post a few back, the one who looks a bit like Bluto from Popeye (I think he may be Paul Barnes, but I shall continue to call him Bluto just in case), just moved all in preflop with  , and got himself called by Chris' AQo.  on the flop and Bluto doubles up, but he's still short with about 6k.

No no, Bluto. The similarity in name to Pluto the Cartoon Dog got them in trouble with the heavy-handed and extremely powerful Disney corporation so they got in a different baddie for some years, named Brutus. I couldn't remember his name so I thoroughly researched it all before posting. The full article for your edification can be found here - http://www.popeye-n-olive.com/snipplets.html.

Unless of course you're implying that Mr Red Hoodie Possibly Paul Barnes Man looks like a dog.

80 players now remain.

George Macdonald raises to 900 preflop and is called by Gary Chatterton, a Blackpool gent in a terrifying Hawaiian shirt. I know global warming is really kicking in now, but surely the weather in Blackpool can't yet justify that...

Anyway, they see a flop of  , which must be pretty sunny as far as Gary is concerned as he bets 2000. Macdonald calls.

Turn -  . Gary bets 4000, Macdonald calls.

River -  . They both check, and Gary mucks when Macdonald shows  . Too hot for him...
